"H" is hymns

Two hymns are mentioned in the 2003 screenplay for Brokeback Mountain:
  • The Pentecostal hymn "Water Walkin' Jesus", on the night Ennis and Jack share the blankets.
  • "The Battle Hymn of the Republic", on the night Ennis tries to share a blanket with his family.

"They had stood that way for a long time in front of the fire, its burning tossing ruddy chunks of light, the shadow of their bodies a single column against the rock.  The minutes ticked by from the round watch in Ennis's pocket, from the sticks in the fire settling into coals.  Stars bit through the wavy heat layers above the fire."  [story]

Aguirre noodled up his own rules for mountain pastures.  He skirted Forest Service regulations when they weren't to his favour.

def. = to make or devise freely as an exercise or experiment (sometimes fol. by up)

"O" is odds-on

"Brokeback -- an odds-on favorite to clean up in Academy Award nominations, including best picture, on Tuesday -- is not just an art-house favorite or a cultural statement or a milestone in filmmaking.  It is a bona fide hit making money in places, and with audiences, that make an East Bay movie house look like the Cannes Film Festival."
